Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Obama's Seven Broken Campaign Promises in the Stimulus Package

How about some consideration of the timeframe here? He's been in office less than a month. Those things take TIME to set up, and he's spent all his TIME in the last less-than-month trying to save your sorry ass from economic collapse.

To now say, "Hey, you're a big cheating liar politician guy because you haven't made sunshine shine out my ass in the last 27 days" is pretty lame, even for partisan hackery.

Used to be we gave presidents 100 days. Despite some right-wing quacking to the contrary, the fact is that even George Bush got 100 days before people really started in on him. I heard people calling for Obama's impeachment on fucking January 21st. Could we just give it a REST for a bit, people? The campaign season is OVER. Yeah, you lost, and I feel real bad for your poor hurt feelings. But there's a country that the guy's trying to run (America First, 'member?) and while you're free to disagree on how he does it, what'll work is to set aside knee-jerk politics and have a substantive discussion of issues.
